    Well that's good news.
    I mean, c'mon Dread x, it's frickin insured, that's why you paid extra....'cause you're smart enough to know they have guerrillas in the sorting room. Keep us informed. Maybe we can write a joint complaint and let 'em know we'll all boycott.

    Yeah, Right! And they shipped right after the Christmas holidays, still chucking packages and stuffing trucks to the hilt!

    @Tundra4us that really sucks D.
    The best advice I can give you is do what you feel is right. Like if you were on the other end of this.

    Sending headlights are tricky. You have to pack it right.. it’s not for.. just stuffing in the right spots. I’ve sent tons of headlights out no broken tabs. I just spend a pretty penny on packaging. Which blows bc shipping is already pricey to send them out

    Just a thought. Is it possible to make it disable traction with one press of the button? As opposed to automatically turning on every time?

    I think I'm thinking the same thing as you. Two options, everything on or everything off. Get rid of the other combinations.

    It is possible but I will have to totally re configure/alter the TCS button. I can possibly do it as a one of if you guys really want but it requires much more work and it won’t be simple to put back to stock. It will also render the tcs button useless to do anything else. The unit I’m planning on making only requires 2 taps and 1 ground on an existing ground bolt and does not affect the tcs button.

    Another method would be to add a button to start the sequencing of the MTD. Going that route allows you to keep the original tcs button in tact. This is the method I would recommend if you guys really want it. Still requires more parts and work but is possible.

    Also by disabling the original button you will lose the ability to use alsd. Saying that I would not recommend it.

    So you're saying there's a chance.
    Rather than me asking for something different, I think the BASTRDS need an executive council meeting to discuss the trade offs and determine if we as a group would like to ask you in the nicest possible way for any deviations from your current plan.

    The point of it is to disable everything in the least painful way. Then reengage as normal. Staying inline with that would be best in my opinion.

    So Mike, when we start the truck it will go through the sequence automatically and turn off all nannies. If we want to turn them back on we just press the button once. At that point if we want to turn them back off we have to manually go through the sequence or turn the truck off and turn back on. Correct? If so, I’m good with that.

    Anything is possible. It will just take more work and the price will reflect that. There would also be more work on installing it. So just keep that in mind.

    Correct

    I am building it to do it automatically and leaving the original TC button intact. If anyone wants it any other way PM me and we can figure something out. They don’t all have to be the same. Another note to add is the truck can’t move when it’s going through the automated sequence. If the truck senses any speed it will not shut off traction control. So for the 1st 10 seconds or so after starting the vehicle you can’t move. Just something to keep in mind.

    You can move, but it just won't go through the sequence right? What happens then? Nothing, right? It won't keep trying or something and blow up like a Samsung battery?

    Correct the traction just won’t disable. Then you can just do it manually after.
